That's really interesting. Do you have any insight on why Poland seemingly punches above its weight on software development? Is programming a heavy focus in public schools?
Former Warsaw Pact countries have really strong mathematics training in primary and secondary school.
Good universities that are free to attend and pass if you make it through the entry exams. The unis are setup to weed out people who can't keep up. Historically we have a great foundation for maths and physics. We also have tech centers in the major cities and some domestic, large companies. There is plenty of jokes about them, and they have a reputation of being "the job you get right after uni", but in the end you have a place that hires a lot of people at the same time, each year, that lets you get experience. Basically if you are a person that'll do well programming, then you are setup for success.
